Question

I have setup a VM with ubuntu. It runs hadoop as a single node. Later I installed apache pig on it. apache pig runs great with local mode, but it always prom ERROR 2999: Unexpected internal error. Failed to create DataStorage

I am missing something very obvious. Can someone help me get this running please?

More details:
1. I assume that hadoop is running fine because, I could run MapReduce jobs in python.
2. pig -x local runs as i expect.
3. when i just type pig it gives me following error

Error before Pig is launched

Answer 1

Link helped me understand possible cause of failure.

Here is what fixed my problem.
1. Recompile pig without hadoop.
2. Update PIG_CLASSPATH to have all the jars from $HADOOP_HOME/lib
3. Run pig.

Thanks.
